Here are some maps, also a few nice looking sources: https://journals.openedition.org/aaa/1033 In French with very detailed maps https://www.researchgate.net/publication/328098176_Senegambian_megaliths_as_world_cultural_heritage/figures?lo=1 And this paper

It's also commonly confused with images of Sungbo Eredo, the earthworks around Ijebu Ode, and occasionally old Oyo the old capital of the Oyo empire. Both of which are impressive and interesting cities in their own right.

Here are some other Reliable images of the Walls. Unfortunitly the Internet has confused both a Fulbe village and Baghdad with Benin city somehow giving a very unfortunate impression of what they looked like.

There is an excellent resource on the subject called "New light on the Benin city walls" https://www.jstor.org/stable/41856902?seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents

@The gamer "Benin Kings and Rituals Court Arts from Nigeria" *Note, image has been updated with better quality image.

As it is often thought of wrong and portrayed wrong, this is what the walls look like.

Some pictures and a interesting thing I found. Logone-Birni Sultan of Logone-Birni I also found something really cool. The Russian noble Abram Petrovich Gannibal, a cool character I just found was apparently of Kotoko origin. He was also the grandfather of Alexander Pushkin of all people. Now that is a story I did not expect to find. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abram_Petrovich_Gannibal

@Jabari It makes sense given the geographic region. The rich alluvial soil floodplain that the region must have had and the location on the rivers south of the Lake. They are actually decedents of the Sao which are shown in this thread but similarly little exists on them. However you can find some stuff. "I rode down the river, which here flows with great beauty and majesty past the high walls of this capital Loggun; it comes direct from the south-west, with a rapid current. We enetred the town by the western gate, which leads to the principle street: it is as wide as Pall Mall and has large dwellings on each side, built with great uniformity, each having a courtyard in front, surrounded by a wall, and a handsome entrance. with a strong door hasped with iron: a number of the inhabitants were seated at their doors for the purpose of seeing us enter, with their slaves ranged behind them". -Dixon Denham 1824 Logone-Birni 1892

The Kotoko are also a almost unknown group. They were a group of city states to the south of Lake Chad.

Awesome.
